  • Patent number: 8338770
    Abstract: A vertical solar panel array including a portable base with a rotatable surface and a plurality of double-sided solar panels each having a plurality of solar cells mounted on each side thereof. The plurality of double-sided solar panels are mounted vertically on the rotatable surface of the base. Electrical circuitry couples each solar cell of the plurality of solar cells to an output terminal. An electric motor is mechanically coupled between the base and the rotatable surface to provide rotation and a controller is coupled to the electric motor and to a light sensor. The controller is programmed to analyze readings from the light sensor and to control the electric motor to align the plurality of double-sided solar panels with the sun for maximum output.

  • Publication number: 20100198833
    Abstract: A method of social networking including the step of providing a networking system with a website on a web network. The method further includes the steps of receiving from a claimant entering the website an agreement to the terms of service and thereafter receiving the claimant as a member, receiving from the claimant the name of a person claimed and other relevant information, and indexing and storing the claims so as to permit searching by the public and/or members of the networking system. In addition the networking system is constructed to receive facts arising from a dispute proving the claim is invalid or erroneous, and notify the claimant of the dispute in some convenient manner.
